I enjoy these "I have seen the light of Perl" posts, so I'm grateful for this one as I am for the many others we've seen.

That having been said, I'm starting to worry that I'm living in an echo chamber. Other languages (I assume) have "I am a convert from Perl" posts. I wonder what those folks are saying. Sometimes I wish they'd come back here to tell us, but I realize this is my own laziness showing. The groups for Language X probably have those posts, and I don't want to spend the time looking for them. What drove them from Perl? What brought them to Language X? If any monk can point me to some insightful thoughts along these lines, I'd be grateful.
